Getting it Wright

Every fall we like to get our favorite apple cider donuts and pies from Wright’s Farm over in Gardiner, New York. We do a day of apple picking (and sampling), scoping out turtles and frogs in a creek, followed by some play on the equipment time. 

Apple picking is tailgating in Upstate New York so go with a group. Families bring tents, grills, chairs, games, and pets to hang out in the expansive parking lots as kids run around picking as many apples as they can fit into a tote bag. 

Apple picking season always starts earlier than I think - mid-August! Plan ahead for the particular variety that you like, and when it ripens.
